FN Herstal has showcased the EVOLYS machine gun at a UK defense convention, highlighting its lightweight, versatile design. With 5.56mm and 7.62mm versions, the weapon reduces weight by nearly one-third compared to legacy models. The lighter 5.56mm variant offers mobility and ammunition capacity for urban operations, while the 7.62mm provides range and power without excessive bulk. Both integrate hybrid firing, suppressor-ready gas systems, ambidextrous controls, and rapid barrel replacement. FN Herstal positions EVOLYS as a modern, soldier-focused system bridging assault rifle ergonomics with belt-fed endurance for flexible combat roles.
